WEEKLY SYNDICATION RATINGS ROUNDUP
Magazine Shows Start The New Year Strong
Well-reviewed talk newcomer Drew Barrymore had a big week in the new year holiday session ending Jan. 3. Despite losing its primary run to football games at least 19 times in the metered markets alone, Barrymore battled to a 25% increase, scoring a 0.5 live-plus-same-day national Nielsen rating, even with repeat telecasts on all five days.
That was a better percentage increase than any talk show in the top 10. Jimmy Fallon, Norah O’Donnell, Neal Patrick Harris and Ken Jeong were among Barrymore’s guests.
Entertainment magazines were also hot, with Extra growing the most of the big five and matching its season high with a 17% spurt to a 0.7.
TMZ rallied 14% to a 0.8, and heavyweights Entertainment Tonight and Access Hollywood both jumping 11% to a 2.1 and a 1.0, respectively. In the key women 25-54 age group, ET forged ahead 14% to first place among all magazines with a 0.8 demo rating, and Access advanced 25% to a 0.5.
Back in talk shows, Live with Kelly and Ryan recorded a season-high 2.1 household rating for a third straight week and finished first in the category for the sixth week in a row with one tie.
Dr. Phil snared second place, growing 13% to a 1.7.
BRAND CONNECTIONS
Elsewhere in daytime, Judge Judy, which is going out on a high note in this, its 25th and final first-run season, gave back 6% to a 5.1, but easily overruled the court shows for the 1,267th straight week.
